Steps for Tomato Gnocchi
First, bring salted water to a boil for the gnocchi, then prepare the sauce.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan and sauté the garlic for a minute, then remove it and add the tomato puree. Cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, then season with salt and add the torn basil leaves.
Once the water is boiling, pour in the gnocchi. When they float to the surface (it will take a couple of minutes), drain them gently.
Now pour the gnocchi into the pan with the sauce, mix well, and divide them onto plates. Add some grated cheese and serve.
